KAC-M1814 4-Channel Compact Bridgeable Marine/Motorsports 400W Max Power Digital Amplifier

The sound is fantastic the best thing is the size it fit behind the head unit in the dash. Easy to install would recommend.

This amp is the perfect size to install on a Harley touring motorcycle, it fits nicely in the fairing. Install was very easy and straightforward. My head unit is a SoundStream Reserve HDHU 14+, Kenwood speakers. The amp does not draw a lot of power so I tapped the power and ground leading to the stereo. I will run cables to the battery later. I bridged the amp to two channels since I only have two front speakers on by Harley. Amp provides great power and sound.

I've had 200+ watt Pioneers installed for about a year with a Kenwood head unit, sometimes when playing content from my phone I really had to crank the volume up to hear it well enough. Now with this amp connected, I barely need to go above 25% and it has fantastic audio quality. I've added the Kenwood compact sub to my setup so the Pioneers handle the mids and highs (and some low Hz), the compact sub handles the lows - all setup using the crossover in the head unit. You really have to tune your setup if you expect this to sound good - go through your head unit settings, set the speaker size, distance, etc... Don't leave everything to default. I set the line sensitivity at about .3 (which is about 65-75% turning of the dial). HPF off so I can change settings on the fly at the head unit. Oh and the size - this thing is so compact, I was able to tuck it under the dash behind the 'ol glovebox. Everything you need is included, RCA cables, wiring harness, even some zip ties. Like I said, when you tune it against the settings in your head unit, the audio quality is fantastic.

Great Amplifier. Just got it installed and what a difference but will review after a few months to see how warm it will get after being pushed a bit. **UPDATE** 4/26/21. Amp was installed but my exhaust was way too loud. Added additional amp to the rear 6x9 speakers and left this amp for the 2 front 6x5. Power is seriously good and being that there is only 2 speakers per amp you don't have to turn the gain almost full power. Even with that issue heat on the amp didn't really overheat. It got warm don't get me wrong but no overheating issues. Would highly recommend this amp for 2 speakers only. With 4 speakers it's not enough power in my opinion. **Update** Installed baffles on exhaust and had a good friend who was more knowledgeable retune the system and what a difference. Turned out gain was all the way down (go figure). After system was retuned it is more then enough power to hear. It cranks while going at just about any speed. The rear speakers are more for slower in town speeds since your front handle the the sound better at higher speeds. Excellent amp and must have excellent speakers as well.

Simple install and set up. It’s got a good punch for a compact AMP. It went in an old car with very little available room for an amp of any size.

Perfect fit. Great quality. Great value.

Installed this on my 2020 Harley Ultra. Worked great for ~1 month before it started cutting out randomly. Thought it was due to vibration when riding but it happens when stationary as well. Would not recommend.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Have several of these in various vehicles. Compact size easily fits under larger center consoles and car seats with air space for cooling. Class D amp with 15A fuse, so low power consumption. Provides good clear amplified sound for car door and dash speakers. Gains adjusted near mid position, crossovers at 80Hz. Using separate dedicated mono amps for subwoofers. Not a competition or audiophile amp, but seems solid for a daily driver.

ممتاز

Wird krass heiß. Mal sehen wie lange der so hält. Ansonsten nichts zu bemängeln.

Great quality amp that is a perfect upgrade for a Porsche Boxster 987 or 911 997 to replace the ASK amplifier if you have the SPP (Sound Package Plus). Buy this amp and a pair of RCA to wire cables and listen to a very cheap quality upgrade

Qualità eccezionale, riscalda un po troppo, quindi consiglio di non installarlo in posto troppo chiuso

Muy bien sonido y una potencia aceptable. El amplificador tiene un tamaño pequeño adaptable a cualquier sitio. Lo único que destacaría en su contra es que los cables de conexión se quedan cortos. En mi caso me los tuvieron que sustituir por otros más largos, pero en general estoy satisfecho. Buen sonido Kenwood y calidad.
